Vegetable tanned leather is a philosophy of leather crafting. These exceptional items have no equals in texture, feel, colours, appearance, use, and even fragrance. At the core of vegetable-tanned leathers, there are natural tannings and raw materials sourced directly from plants, nothing more natural than that!

Regardless of the type of tannin, the starting point is always plant-based: wood, cortex, fruits, rind, lump, or leaf depending on the characteristic of the species. The tanning agents are extracted through simple methods, such as hot water extraction or grinding.

In addition, Figli di Guido Lapi offers its customers a comprehensive range of technical products to help them fabricate premium vegetable-tanned leather goods. The SOLE product line embodies over seventy years of experience, passion and innovation in this field.

Thanks to their unique properties – such as complexing proteins, astringency, and bacteriostatic functions – tannins work greatly for the health and well-being of cattle, ruminants, pork as well as avian animal feed.

The use of tannins in enology is historically well-established because of the important properties these substances are able to transfer to wine and the benefits they provide, including in vineyard treatments.

Through collaboration with other Lapi Group companies, Figli di Guido Lapi is able to supply a selected range of food jellies for oenological use.
